Terrorist Attacks

July 12, 1985

JERUSALEM — ''Excellent, good people who have erred in their paths and actions.'' Israeli Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir used the words in describing 25 Jews convicted in a series of terrorist attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River and told a Jewish youth group that he will seek pardons for them, a Shamir aide said Thursday. Shamir's remarks were the first public reaction by a member of Prime Minister Shimon Peres' coalition government to the guilty verdicts returned Wednesday for 15 members of the Jewish underground. Ten others were convicted earlier.
